In August 2020, Loypoll and another person named Denchick gained access to Sertif's Discord account, who is the co-developer of Pizza Tower, through a fake mod labelled as a "Wario Land 4 Music Mod". The .exe file inside was actually a token stealer (A program that as it's name suggests, steals a Discord users account token and sends it to the attacker.), allowing them to log into the account with no permission. When they got into the account, they managed to access the staff channels of the now closed Pizza Tower Discord, taking roughly a Gigabyte of Pizza Tower development files taken from Discord attachments and Dropbox links up to May 28th, 2020.
The first leak occurred on August 15th, 2020 when a compressed archive titled ptleak.7z was uploaded to 4chan within a Mega link. The archive contained the Game Maker 2 Studio project file to Western Build v3 and a small portion of Discord attachments, which consisted of unreleased and work-in-progress music. The second leak occured on August 22th, 2020 when the full Dropbox URL to the Game Maker 2 Studio project file was included in a 4chan post, as well all Discord attachments in a compressed archive titled not so staff only anymore is it lads.rar. This archive contains master versions of the soundtrack up to that point, unreleased music, work-in-progress music, a few sound effects, and a demo for potential singers for Pizza Mayhem, which was already public to everyone wanting to submit their takes. Loypoll and Denchick eventually lost access to Sertif's account through, because Denchick typed in a single "n" letter and accidentally sent it in the general chat. Sertif quickly took notice and changed his password, kicking them off his account.
The biggest thing that happened is the creation of the mod "Pizza Tower: Online" (made by Loypoll of course), being completely based on the stolen source code. This mod has had quite a bit against it, as well as it eventually becoming the drama-filled "Cheesed Up!" The other thing was as you'd expect, hurting the devs as all their work up to that point had been leaked, including code, music and assets.
